Yield: 20 bars
Ingredients
- 1 (1 lb.) box of light brown sugar
- 1 stick of butter (½ cup), melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir well to combine. Add the coconut, pecans and raisins and stir until well incorporated.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. (It’s a little sticky. It can help to lightly wet your hands with water to press it evenly across the pan.)
- Bake at 300 for 45 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Let cool completely then cut into finger-sized cookies. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
